POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION
A postdoctoral position to study nucleotide variation in
phenylpropanoid pathway genes in different species of Brassicaceae is
available at the Departament de Genetica, Facultat de Biologia,
Universitat de Barcelona, Spain. The project will require developing
the screening techniques for the different species and specially to
deal with the problem of possible high heterozygosity in outcrossing
species. Candidates should have a strong background in molecular
evolution and/or population genetics as well as solid experience in
molecular techniques and an ability to work independently. Programming
ability is desirable. The position is funded for 18 months by the
European Network project entitled "Transporting molecular tools from
Arabidopsis thaliana to related species" and can start in November
1998. Please send a curriculum vitae and a statement of research
interests, as well as names and e-mail/phone numbers of two references.
